One of nine screen versions of James Fenimore Cooper's classic frontier novel was not only a silent film but also the most faithful to the book. Mastered from the original nitrate negative, this DVD of the 1920 classic features breathtaking landscape photography and expertly choreographed action sequences. Wallace Beery stars as the treacherous Indian scout Magua, who during the French and Indian War pretends to escort the Munro daughters through enemy territory to rejoin their father, Colonel Munro, at Fort William Henry, but instead turns them over to the French and their Huron allies. Only Chingachgook and his son Uncas, the last of the Mohican tribe, and their white ally, the frontiersman Hawkeye, can save them.
